A Walk in the Park (Redo)

And the is exactly what they did! 

It is in the later part of the year that the TARDIS materializes inside an empty room in a warehouse complex......ironically not too far away from another seemingly abandoned complex where a man called Brill works in a place he calls the Jar. 

The Doctor had chosen this particular landing sight because it reminded him of yet another movie he'd seen awhile ago that seemed to fit so well with recent events with conspiracies, NSA, and what not. 

He'd explain later why he has a special twinkle in his eye as he lands later, sure that Inquirer and the others (except Elrondir) would get a real kick out of it when it became clear. 

The smile that Elrondir gives him tells the Doctor that at least the AI turned Elf recognizes how similar this spot is to the movie. 

Apparently he's seen the movie vice just having read the movie tie- in like dear Inquirer had done, the Doctor muses, Then again, she always seemed to prefer text to video when consuming that brand of fiction. 

That done, they depart for various sights via one of several cars that were stored away inside the TARDIS. Ragan, the elves, and Sigin were off to see several of the tourist sights around the area (the later two putting on appropriate magical disguises to better blend into the mass of humanity at large). Betty went out to see her friend about a book of rules. As for Inquirer and the Doctor, they went out and took a walk in the park (as had become a welcome habit). 

"At least in my universe there was one city park I found rather pleasant in this area," the Doctor smiled as they drove off, "It was and is called Occuquan Park." 

So as to not be needlessly disturbed by others as they walked along, both agreed that the back part of the park with it's trails, was the best place for this latest romantic tryst. Any curious ones they did encounter would be told tey were just opera players from Wolftrap (an open air play complex that was 20 minutes away from Washington, DC) rehearsing parts. 

But fortunately, that wasn't needed and our two odd romantics are left in peace. 

However, as the evening progressed, they ran right into yet another scene right of the movies. 

Life imitating the movies yet again..... 

(Author's Note: For a better understanding of what is going on I suggest you rent or by the movie. It's a good flick.) 

Across the lake is the scene of an apparent accidental death of a senator who opposed a law that would make it easier for the government to eavesdrop on various people for security reasons.
 
 

It looked like the senator, Hammersly, had died of heart attack.
 
 

In reality, somebody made it only look that way.

 M

It was murder!
 
 

The body with where the body had been dumped to make it look like the senator had died and let it go into the water was being pulled out of the park lake.
 
 

A rogue NSA agent, is keeping an eye out for anything that might turn up that he and his boss don't want turned up, when he spots a nature conservationist (Daniel Zavitz) pulling up to a box over on the other side of the lake....and pull out a tape from a camera that appears to have secretly recorded the whole murder!
 
 

Bad news....
 
 

So.....as Zavitz's van pulls away.....Bingham (the NSA agent that had actually comitted the murder of Hammersly under the orders of on highly placed NSA official called Reynolds) is about to call in the vans plate numbers, the Doctor and Inquirer come upon the scene. 

The Doctor and Inquirer idly notes the plate numbers also, and then notes the scene across the lake. 

1. They then look at each other in consternation.
